It's interesting to hear a "newcomer's account" of the story.
For the record, I really liked Evan Almighty. Our group had a 42 year age span, and we all really liked it. Oh, well.
Author's Response: Sunny and I don't always agree on everything. :-) Darn characters! Thanks for your review, TLK!

Oh, I love Sunny's protectiveness of Pam and wariness of Jim. Sounds like the girl has lived a bit and has learned the hard way to be suspicious of cute boys. Love that, and her Creed-lovin' fangirliness!
Author's Response: I was surprised to find myself writing Sunny as so suspicious of Jim, but somehow it seemed natural. And who can resist the Creed love? The man is a god. Thanks for reading, nqllisi!

Liaisons dangereuses de Scranton...you clever girl, you. I like Sunny's school of hardknocks history (her once having been a teacher is a great detail) and that those smarts inform her pov as she watches this soap opera unfold. Lots of great impressions of the characters and so much fun to hear the story re-told this way. Kind of a fly on the wall, but in a very different way than the cameras. Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Always with the French! Well, I guess I have to expect that from someone named Colette. :D Glad you're enjoying this. More to come.

"I worry that this Jim guy may be a heartbreaker who goes through women like a dose of salts. If he hurts her, I'll put laxative in his coffee." Damn straight. Tell 'em Sunny!
The movie with Georgia was awful. Something about a guy building an ark in suburbia. Hee! The outsider's perspective on the drama is awesome. Can't wait to see where this goes next!
Author's Response: Hah. Wasn't sure anyone would catch the Evan Almighty ref. Glad you are enjoying this, lisahoo.

Heh...you know, when you boil the plot down like this into one or two paragraphs, it DOES sound a little silly. :)
I'm really liking this third party observer look at Dunder-Mifflin! Keep it going, for sure.
Author's Response: Thanks, Cousin! I do have a plan for where I'm going, so I will definitely keep this going. I'm glad you like this.

Such a great story! I love how "Sunny" has a background of her own and tells her sister all about the drama where she works. I used to do the same thing! Although if I were Sunny, my sister would have told me to shut the hell up about work by now. But I don't want Sunny to shut up!
I hope that made sense to you. Essentially, it means I really enjoy this story. Keep it up!
Author's Response: Yes, it made sense. And yes, my own sister would probably have told me to shut up. I'm just going to pretend Sunny's sister is too interested in Creed to tell her that!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm enjoying this very much.
